A handful of quaint little towns full of antique shops and galleries nestle in the mountains. There are diversions outside of hiking and fishing, too. Lake Wallenpaupack, located 30 miles east of Scranton, is one of the best fishing spots in the state. Throughout the region are dozens of lakes and streams filled with bass and trout. For spectacular hikes, check out Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, where you can trek to dramatic waterfalls or follow a 27-mile section of the historic Appalachian Trail. The warmer months are a great time to explore the region’s lakes and wooded hills. Today, the Poconos draw nearly 24 million annual visitors, thanks to year-round recreational opportunities and stunning natural scenery. The area has been a popular vacation destination ever since Pennsylvania Quakers opened a hotel here on the Delaware River in 1829. The Poconos region of northeastern Pennsylvania accounts for some 2,400 square miles of mountains, lakes, waterfalls, and forests.
